2017 has been a year of continued massive growth for the NYC tech ecosystem. From exciting exits to numerous IPOs and a large number of new VCs setting up shop in town, NYC continues to establish itself as a tech powerhouse with explosive entrepreneurial activity across a broad cross-section of verticals and horizontals. Will 2018 finally be the year of massive exits we’ve all been waiting for? Or, are we still in the building stage of this unique tech ecosystem?
